Welcome to China's Hakka Praying
Mantis Kungfu eSource

The China
Southern Praying Mantis Kungfu Survey™

A ten year ongoing research
project! Living in China continuously, since 2002 (and 26
years before that in Hawaii, Korea, Japan and Taiwan), in the last
ten years, I've travelled three corners of China, visited China's
four Southern Praying Mantis Temples, and befriended dozens of
China's Southern Mantis elders and teachers sharing stories and
skills. Kwongsai Jook Lum, Chu Gar Mantis and Iron
Ox.

And I've
yet to release the bulk of the research! I have hundreds of
hours of video and film from 1950 onward never before
released! All three branches of Som Dot's Hakka Mantis! Join
me now and continue sharing my Southern Praying Mantis Kungfu
experience in China! (Who am
I?)

Principles

Intent - Warrior Spirit

The first principle is
intent or will-power. Intent is simply defined as the
"warrior spirit." Without it, there is no focus of the body and
mind into one purpose. Strike with the soul, and you will never miss. Thought and action are one.

"The heart of the study
of boxing is to have natural instinct resemble the dragon." - Wang
Xiang Zhai (1885-1963) Dacheng Boxing

Rooting

Rooting is the skill of developing the force of one
thousand pounds in the feet. With it, the stance is as firm as Mt. Tai and not easily moved.

Without rooting, the power of the fist will be
stagnated in the chest and one's feet will not be steady allowing
him to be easily thrown about.
